Making sense of rhythm (for a white girl sure is hard).

But Coltrane helps.

In Memoriam John Coltrane

       

     Listen to the coal

rolling, rolling through the cold

        steady rain, wheel on

   wheel, listen to the

turning of the wheels this night

       black as coal dust, steel

 on steel, listen to

these cars carry coal, listen

    to the coal train roll.
